Přestavba FORD TRANSIT z Atmosféry na Turbo

… aneb jak zvednout výkon, snížit spotřebu a zachovat spolehlivost.

Ford Transit 190 2.5D LWB, 1994-2000

Ford Transit Mark 3 se (podle wikipedie) vyráběl v letech 1986-2003.  Hodně  těchto vozů bylo poháněno atmosférickým dieselovým motorem o objemu 2496 cc, jehož sací potrubí připomíná svazek banánů. Ne nadarmo se v Británii používá termín “banana engine”. Tyto motory měly mechanické čerpadlo Bosch, byly velmi spolehlivé, ale strašně líné.

Line 6 DT50 – Mains Transformer fail

XFMR Line6As I work in repair center, I could not notice many Line6 DT50 amps with short winding in the power transformer (secondary HV). These transformers are currently out of stock. We decided to manufacture new transformers by ourselves as we can make them better than PRC.

The main cause of this fault is bifilar secondary for 2x258V. These wires conduct high voltage and they are located all the way next to each other. Do not wind up secondary as bifilar.

Mains Transformer LINE6 #11-30-0045 datasheet is located below if you want to make your own. We did not, however, count all the turns of all windings as it was difficult without proper tools. You have to calculate the turns by yourself. Anyway, the datasheet gives you a clue about voltages and color codes.
